Tungsten Network is a global electronic invoicing network. Tungsten Network’s e-Invoicing platform enables suppliers to send invoice data directly from their accounting systems in any format to customers who are enrolled on the Tungsten Network.
Tungsten Network’s ‘any-to-any’ solution handles all the data mapping requirements and ensures that all supplier invoices are delivered in the format that a customer’s accounts payable system requires.
Shortly, this will be the only way that GSK will accept delivery of supplier invoices.
Yes, GSK is actively phasing out the processing of paper invoices to take advantage of the benefits that electronic invoicing provides to both us and our suppliers.
Tungsten Network is web-based, therefore all you require to access the e-Invoicing platform is a browser and internet access.
Shortly, this will be the only way that GSK will accept delivery of supplier invoices. All future supplier contracts will include e-Invoicing as a requirement for doing business with GSK.

The membership fee covers the cost to Tungsten Network for setting you up on their network and the general costs of maintaining the network. The membership fee is an annual cost regardless of the number of customers that you invoice via the network.
Tungsten Network is not a payment platform. GSK will continue to pay suppliers using the current payment method.
If you select the Integrated Solution you will sign a supplier specific agreement with Tungsten Network. If you choose the Web Form solution you will be required to accept Tungsten Network’s standard terms and conditions.
EDI and XML are common data formats, therefore you can use these preferred formats to deliver the data to Tungsten if you choose to use the Integrated Solution. GSK will not take any electronic data directly from suppliers as we take a single consolidated invoice file from Tungsten which will contain invoices from all of our suppliers.
No, the Tungsten Network ensures that GSK receives the data you send in a format that will upload to our accounting software and, where applicable, match to a goods receipt record. Offering an image of the invoice or an option to download the data in a fixed format does not support GSK’s automated payment processes which are designed to ensure GSK meets its commitments to Suppliers and pays all invoices on time.
